I must say I really dig the Vickers.

It's not an easy build, either.

Both look pretty good but I like the Vickers the best.  I'm not that familiar with this Vickers, but would the tracks ride that high off the return rollers?

Surely he could have hidden the track attachment on the Vickers better than that? Did he use staples? Everything else looks good, but that really jumps out sings "Hello, my darlin'... " This one could really benefit from a set of indy tracks, IMHO.

Good effort.  Some problems though.  Nice big seems on the wheels of the howitzer.  The road wheels don't look right on the Vickers either.  Some look reversed.  They are all steel and shouldn't have any rubber on them as well.  The tracks are way too loose too.

Well, for an average modeller like me, the Vickers 6T is not an easy build (nor did I expect it to be)... partly because the instructions aren't crystal clear. I will get back to it, but I've put it on the backburner for the time being. I have respect for anyone who makes these things without bitching too much about them :)
